THIS IS A ROOKIE REVIEW

Can someone explain the above, have seen it on a few reviews of late.

Diffirent punters but all reviews start with the same heading

Exacly what is says .. these users are rookies on ESA .. like me .. lol ;)

You will see this at the bottom of those reviews:

* Until (............) built up some Street Cred, Rookie Reviews will not be tracked on the Comments and the Review By Area system.

@BOOBS, so you are saying its a system generated thing?

@Kooni, that thing has been irritating me. Thought it was some cake with no work to do...hehe

Yes, the system automatically generates those words. The most important thing is that we don't allow brand new reviewers to affect the comments page and the "review by area" page. We had to do this to filter out "hit and run" malicious reviews. As always, a few bad apples had to spoil it for the rest of us, but if a person use the system in a normal way like everyone else, it wouldn't affect them.

There is your answer ;)

Bunch of rookies...lol

ESA should have rather used the term "roofie" like they did for the new guys in the army back in the day.

I did not even read that far to see the footnote.

Same here, thought it was a punter with multiple profiles telling us to ignore his reviews.

Not really irritating to me, but the "Active profile" comment irritate the hell out of me. I maybe wrong but you can't copy and paste the link to a profile thats not active.

And while I am on a role with irritations, the "Guess / Suggest next profile and win" threads are so yesteryear.
